well, I said I was biased, but at least I chose a side.
Judo has 67 throwing techniques and 22 striking techniques which include punches and kicks. There are many different types of takedowns, submissions, pins, locks, etc. Personally I think that wrestling would be at the disadvantage as they dont teach strangles, chokes, or striking. What exactly is there in wresting that is not found in Judo? Just because something is "uncommon" doesnt mean that it isn't there.
